Saturday is upon us and today’s KEH Camera promotion is this: use coupon code SIXTH12A to get 20% off on 1600+ Film Gear and Film Equipment. Over 1600 options are available… The usual exclusions apply (no Leica, no “Like New” or “NEW” condition products are eligible for the coupon). AS usual, you can test the coupon without logging in or creating an account. Their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what qualifies for the coupon as it is the shopping cart the one that will give you the coupon.

The 10pk of Fujifilm Instax Wide Monochrome Film is currently on sale for $15 at Amazon by Amazon itself (maximum three 10pks per customer) with free 2-day shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order…

Meanwhile the 10pk of Fujifilm Instax Mini Monochrome Film goes for $10 with free shipping (no other purchase required for the 48 contiguous) at Adorama (no realistic limits per customer) and at Amazon by Amazon itself (same S&H/limits as the “Wide” in the first paragraph above)…

While we are on the topic of instant cameras, the 20-sheet (Twin Pack) of Polaroid 2 x 3″ Premium ZINK Photo Paper is on sale for the very specific price of $7.64 at B&H Photo and Amazon itself (limit 3). At B&H, you can buy as many as you like, but you need to place a $49+ order to get free shipping. At Amazon, you get free shipping as a Prime member or with a $25+ order (shhh! don’t tell the Amazon Price Bots, it’s not an Add-On item).

At Amazon, you can also set up a “Subscribe & Save” for $7.26 per twin-pack. This price is only guaranteed for the first shipment. Future “Subscribe & Save” shipments will ship at the future current prices when the future orders are computer-placed. You can adjust and cancel “Subscribe & Saves” at any time.

The sale is so good on the 10-pack that it actually “defeats” the 50-pack which goes for $23.49 (47c per exposure). While the twin-packs are 38c per exposure. It has already climbed to the #2 spot of the Photographic Film best sellers at Amazon. The usual caveat with the best seller listings at Amazon – they are only as good as the product categorization created by their employees, 3rd-party sellers and AI Bots 🙂

NOTE: this film can only be used in ZINK cameras and printers. The previously mentioned Polaroid PIC 300 does not take ZINK paper – it needs Polaroid 300 instant film.

Free shipping with orders of $34.99+. You can buy up to TEN sets of this, instead of the usual five. So if you max out, $300 gets you 500 sheets.

If you plan on making small purchases at Groupon throughout the holidays, they are offering a 90-day Free Shipping service for $15. During these 90-days, you don’t need a minimum of $34.99 to get free shipping. Note however that the free shipping only applies to products sold and shipped by Groupon, not by 3rd-party sellers who sell there [similar to how Amazon and NewEgg and Best Buy and others do it]

BUT if you don’t want the iconic green-white packets, B&H Photo has a 60 sheet Value Pack for $33.74 with free shipping. This is $0.56 per sheet, versus $0.60 per sheet at Groupon (assuming you buy enough to get free shipping).

If you are a fan of the Fujifilm Instax Mini Monochrome Film, it is currently on sale in the 10-exposure packet for $9 at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to three per customer. Free shipping for Prime members even if you buy only one (it is not an Add-ON item). Non-Prime members need the usual $25+ minimum purchase.

On the same listing you will also notice that some of the other instant films are on sale. Check also the multi-packs if you need more than ten exposures for a particular kind.

The 60 sheet Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Value Pack is currently on sale for $34.49 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three value packs per customer. This comes out to $11.50 per 20-pack.

This is perhaps a price-match of sorts to the Groupon coupon SALE3 that drops the price of the 60 sheet Value Pack from $38 to $34.20 with free shipping. The coupon terms are limit one unit per deal, so only one 60-pack goes for $34.20. The other four will be at $38 each. Free shipping because the order total is over $35 before the coupon.

Defeating the Groupon offer, 3rd-party sellers at Amazon, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon so you get free 2-day Prime shipping even if you buy only one, are offering various color options of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Selfie Bunny Lens for $5.50 each.

It’s a sale or a price-match, Amazon itself is offering Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack (that’s 20 total sheets, in two 10-packs) for $12.49. Limit up to three Twin Packs per customer. Free 2-day shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.

If you need more, the 100-pack at Groupon Goods goes for $60 with free shipping and free returns.

Actual film, not film camera gear is the target of this new coupon promotion at KEH Camera. Coupon FILM09A gets you 15% off the ten film choices available. KEH specializes in used gear, but the film they sell is not used 🙂 Participating films come from Ilford, Fuji, and Kodak. Sale ends 10/1/17 at 11:59pm ET.

Best Buy’s Black Friday is offering the Fuji Instax SHARE SP-2 wireless printer for $150 (which apparently got price-matched at Amazon) but both of them have been “defeated” by B&H Photo who is bundling a free 10pk of film exposures in various options, eg the standard 10pk or monochrome 10pk of film exposures. On the same listing, they also have other bundle options, eg with a pouch instead of free exposures for $153, or a a 20pk of free exposures for $154.40. With free shipping.

The Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack (a total of 20 sheets) is currently on sale for $13.44 at Amazon by Amazon itself. This is currently restricted to Prime members. Limit up to twenty packs per customer. The current shipping estimate is 2-5 weeks. This is not a lightning deal.

For members only (non-members can’t buy it) Costco has a sale on the 60pk Fujifilm Instax Mini Film pack with free shipping. You cannot see the price unless you are an actual member. Registered non-members cannot see the price. If the price is hidden and for paying-members-only, it usually means it’s a good price 🙂

The Ilford HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film ISO 400 (120 Roll Film) is currently going for $4.09 at Amazon by Amazon itself. The catch is that it is part of the Add-ON program, so you must place an order of $25+ in order to buy it. It can be any combination of physical items sold or fulfilled by Amazon. You can buy up to 90 sets of this, so you can get to $25 with seven of these.

If you are unhappy with the consumer-tier double-figure film scanners, B&H Photo comes to the rescue as they are offering the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i Ai Film Scanner for $409 with free shipping when you enter coupon code PPEBH16 over there… This is part of their Photo Plus specials… NOTE: orders placed today will ship 10/26+…

It is back in-stock and ready to ship, the Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Value Pack (60 sheets) is in-stock and ready to go for $35 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of five sets per customer. Free shipping for Prime or $49+ (or $25+ in books). The 20pk is $12.50, so you save $2.50 if you buy/need the 60-pack. This is 1.714 sheets per $1.

UPDATE: a 50pk of these (five 10-sheet packs) is on sale for $30 with free shipping by PhotoVideo4Less on eBay (limit 50, ships from Brooklyn, 99.9%). Over 820 sets sold from this listing. This is 1.667 sheets per $1.

The Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Value Pack with 60 film exposures is currently going for $35 with a limit of five sets per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. The shipping estimate however is “1 to 2 months”. The usual free shipping terms apply.

The blue color scheme of the Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Film Camera is now on sale for $70 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon herself. Only the blue is on sale, the other colors go for $80. These instant cameras average 4.4 out of 5 based on 740+ customer reviews and have nearly 200 questions answered over there.

Speaking of instant, one 10-pack of Polaroid PIF-300 Instant Film goes for $12 at Adorama (plus shipping) or two 10-packs (total 20 exposures) for $24 with free shipping at Adorama and Amazon (the usual free shipping terms).

The Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack (20 total sheets, 2×10) is on sale for $12.48 at B&H Photo and Adorama (buy 2 or more for $12.38 each) and Amazon itself… Shipping depends. Prime members get free 2-day shipping. For everybody else, shipping is free with an order of $49 or more.

If you need plenty of Fuji Instax Mini Instant Film there is a bundle that contains 10 Twin Packs (20 instant films per Twin Pack) along with 100 photo frame stickers (see gallery picture #4 over there) and a microfiber cleaning cloth for $138 with free shipping with the order fulfilled by Amazon so you get free Prime shipping. Limit three bundles per customer.

The Fujifilm FP-100C 3.25 X 4.25 Inches Professional Instant is currently going for $15 each, with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. However, the shipping estimate is 2-4 weeks, so if you are in a hurry, this will not arrive right away.
